This warmed-over '42 was a dream car for many.  No new cars were produced for the public from January 1942 until late 1945.  This Pontiac was high fashion in '43 and buyers were lined up when it came out in the '46 version.  Good one!   Now see if this 1942 picture looks similar. (Click on it for enlargement.)

Thank you John for the video share, my grandfather had this car back in the day. When the interior came into view I instantly recalled the old car smell that was common back then.

Good memories!

There is a car that I could work on, fix and probably never have to take to a mechanic.  This one is a beauty.
